Description: Feeding envelopes of Brachiosaurus (left) and Sauroposeidon (right). The shapes of the feeding envelopes were probably complex; we have deliberately simplified them for the purposes of this illustration. Because volume increases with the cube of the linear dimension, the increase in neck length of 25 to 33% in Sauroposeidon would have effectively doubled the volume of its feeding envelope over that of Brachiosaurus (1.25~= 1.95, 1.33~= 2.35). The human figure is 1.8 m tall.
